Project Task & Travel Settings

Making a task line available for time booking

A project task only shows up as bookable in the web interface's smart/quick editor once it's marked Active. Time Track Central adds this Active checkbox to the standard Project Task Lines subform and Project Task List, and it can only be turned on for lines with Project Task Type Posting (schedule/budget-only lines can't be booked against directly).

In practice, a task line needs all of the following before employees can write hours on it:

• The project itself is open.
• The task line has a budget.
• The task line is marked Active.

If a project or task doesn't appear as an option when an employee tries to book hours, this is the first thing to check.

Project Task Lines / Project Task List fields

Field	Where	Description
Active	Project Task Lines subform, Project Task List	Makes the task bookable from the web interface. Only selectable on Posting-type lines.
Overtime Allowed	Project Task Lines subform	Whether overtime can be calculated on hours booked against this task. Only enabled if the project's Project Type has its Overtime Type set to something other than Never — if the type says overtime is never calculated, there's nothing to allow per-task.
Qty. To Post	Project Task Lines subform, Project Task List	Read-only — the quantity currently pending posting from approved timesheet lines against this task.
Extended Description	Project Planning Lines	A longer free-text description field alongside the standard planning line description.
Time Sheet No.	Project Planning Lines	Read-only, with a Time Sheet Detail drill-down action to jump from a planning line back to the timesheet line that generated it.

Two further fields, Schedule (Total Quantity) and Usage (Total Quantity), are added but hidden by default — enable them via Personalize if you need running budget/usage totals visible directly on the task line.

Travel on Ship-to Address

Business Central's standard Ship-to Address card gains a new Travel group with two fields:

Field	Description
Travel Time	The travel time charged when an employee selects this ship-to/customer location.
Travel Distance	The travel distance charged when an employee selects this ship-to/customer location.

These are per-location values (see Web App: Customer Location for how employees pick a location) — the resource, item, and posting task used to charge that time/distance company-wide are configured once, centrally, under Setup → Customer Travel.
